Sigman

I would try the original guide rod and spring system designed for the gun. I have a P226 a few years old with the original spring and rod which has been flawless.

The place that gives you a good honest deal.

They probably want to go home.

I use the inside neck chamfer tool. A couple of twists and it's good to go. You don't need to remove much.

I have a Sig 226 that has been flawless (failure free of any kind) with over 2500 rounds through it. I don't believe it should be ejecting in front of you. All my pistols eject to the side or side rear. It's probably best to have it checked out.

Do you have any restraining order issues? It doesn't matter how old, they need to be closed. You can call NICS and find out what you were denied for.

Yes - I remember shooting .22 shorts in the Nylon 66's. Maybe it was the Flemington fair?

I suggest not to load large quantities of rounds until you test fire and find a recipe that you like. Load maybe 5 - 10 of each varying the powder. You want to work your way up and find the recipe that hits the "sweet spot" in your gun.

If you're only "plinking" at 25 to 50 yds a .22 is fine. If you plan to do some target shooting at distances past that, you'll want a .223. You can get the .223 AR then buy an additional .22 upper for plinking. The trajectory will be much flatter with .223 over longer distances.

My favorites for .357Mag are 2400 & H110. I really like 2400.

OK - those last 2 guns are ugly as sin.

I keep an Excel sheet (soft copy reloading log) of the calibers that I reload. In the file, I store the manufacturer/book recipes in one area so that it's easy to compare along with my own reload/result data. It makes it easy to cross reference load data and keep track of inventory.

PC Richards has good sales and service. I've bought washer/dryer and TV's over the last few years from them. Look for the sales. The new high efficiency washers do work good without the agitators. They use less water/detergent and are easier on cloths. Most units are high efficiency now.

You forgot to add that in the rare case that they get caught murdering someone, that they spend their limited time in jail with free room and board on the taxpayers dime since there is no death penalty in NJ. Thank you NJ for thinking about and protecting our criminals.

I'm using a Burris AR-P.E.P.R. QD with a Burris MTAC and it's working OK. It's a quick release, but I haven't removed/installed to check return to zero. It appears to be a decent mount.

Looks awesome! I have a couple of WASR 10's that do the same thing with the bolt carrier. It "sticks" slightly when the bolt carrier rides over the hammer. I think they all do this to some degree. I though about refinishing my WASR, but I kind of like the original look. It's a shooter. Superbee - please post some pics and range report when you get it.

Building an AK variant is more difficult than an AR15 type rifle. There are rivets and pins to press fit. The tool cost may not be worth it to do a couple of rifles. Someone here had a rifle built, but the builder wasn't local. I don't think you'll find any smiths in NJ that will do it.

The FPID is a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card needed to purchase long guns. You need to get this along with your handgun purchase permit if you don't have one. You cannot obtain a handgun purchase permit without having a FPID. Go to the police department and apply for both at the same time. Concealed carry is an entire different ballgame in this state. Regular folks like us generally don't get carry permits in this state unless it's required for your job. You should become familiar with gun operation, shooting, and safety before even considering a carry permit. It carries a high responsibility. There are many threads on this subject in these forums. Use the search function and good luck!

In all seriousness, get a "normal" gun that you like to shoot, then modify it or get one with more bling. A .50cal desert eagle isn't the most practical first handgun. Do you have much handgun experience? How many different calibers have you shot?

+1.... Just because the case was dismissed, doesn't mean you have a clean record. The arrest charge still may come up. Make sure your slate is clean if you were improperly arrested.

That's Thunder Mountain trap & skeet. I forget the name of the road it's on, but it's not far from the swimming lake.

Wideners had them a few months ago, but they have sold out. http://www.wideners....ir=700|701|1029 Try some internet searches to see if you find someone with them in stock. The only problem with this is you won't be able to see what you're getting. I would check Sarco as suggested. Call them and see what they have. I know a FFL in North Jersey that may have some unfired condition, but they will cost over 400. Let me know if you want his info and I'll PM you. Good luck!

Ramapo Mountain is a great place. I mountain bike there. It's about 20 miles from Ramapo Mtn to Ringwood State Park. I forget the exit number, but it's off 287 W. a few exits (west) past Butler. Maybe Skyline Drive?

Before you go to look for an SKS, read up on them. There is a lot of info at the following places: http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php http://www.milsurps....splay.php?f=133 http://yooperj.com/SKS.htm This will keep you busy for a couple of days and will help you decide on what you want. I have a Chinese and Yugo. They're fun to shoot and ammo is cheap.
